anyways @jovial crypt ik u committed to columbia, but i was wondering if u knew how students deal w rent in nyc or like how they get it to be lower 😭 (or if anyone else knows)
nah it was thru my nose
but i could have j been completely out of it
people usually live on campus
its guaranteed 4 years
is that cheaper?
First year rate is 9k per year
for me at least, finaid covers all of tuition and a bit of housing so it is
Other years are 11k I think
let me pull up my finaid doc
With no finaid
and also do u know abt safety in that area bc im lowk kinda scared abt being a woman / asian in nyc LOL
oo ok thats not bad
u should be fine if you have good common sense
my friends at juilliard have been out and stuff
no problems
also women in nyc/asian
haha
gl 🫶
These schools have so much money and do a really great thing with finaid
But they could also literally just lower the price
I applied for wharton at Penn so idgaf what it costs if I get in
my penn interviewer absolutely shit on penn LOL
Wharton is arguably worth 100k+ a year
yeah im cs
Doesn't Princeton basically give everyone full tuition automatically 😭😭
so it doesnt matter as much
Like they might as well
wdym
princeton is crazy
if you make 200-250k
your family does
you still get 66% tuition covered
Tf☠☠ that generational endowment
then again
4 million per student is pretty crazy
If someone wants to get married we can be independent for fafsa
And get hella finaid
It actually works
I am open to that, hmu
dont u alr have finaid 😭
i need us citizenship for ts/sci to get internships at the cia and navy yknow
so i gotta marry a us citizen fast
Gonna cost a few k to get the prenup written up
Because I'm not splitting 50/50
Also not giving you my medical rights or estate lol
If something happens to me
So get a lawyer to take care of that
i wonder if a prenup solves that
And then.... Finaid 🤑🤑
find a nursing student three year marriage messy divorce 🥰😜
except explaining it if yall wanna date in college to other ppl would be interesting
is this your sales pitch?
yeah so i'm married for finaid but ....
Its pretty explainable
Regardless it's worth the 360k in savings
do yk if its comparable to other colleges
its vile
im a lesbian sorry ☹️ i’ve failed u…
like yearlong rent
the cost or dorms themselves?
my friend at juilliard managed to get 1k/month apartment before covid, rent frozen for next 4 years
insane
wtf
dorming
holy shit
IKR
2 bedrooms
1.4? k a month i think
sharing it with a friend so she only has to pay 700/month
i’ll give the green card and then run away with my millionaire lesbian lover
i woylf kill i man for this
but yes we can arrange something

it’s a school for people that have a gap between graduating hs and going to college, it is also the school for dual BA programs that columbia does with a few other colleges
where in nyc
haven’t you lived in the US for a while now?
i thought you had a green card
manhattan like 3 blocks from juilliard apparently
1.5
but marriage is the best of both worlds 
so you’ll get it in college you’re big chillin
hahaha
you’re uh
singaporean right
ye
well you already have the best passport
what other countries have you lived in
out of curiosity
malaysia singapore and us, like 3-4 diff states
but ive been to like 15 countries ish
omg do yk why they have the swimming req?
its kind of funny
they had this req even before the US became an independent nation, and the reason why they had the req was because if the brits attacked nyc, then the students could swim away in the hudson river
EXCEPT for engineering students, they dont have to pass a swimming test because they can make boats or smthing idk
hahahahaha
Yeah I got a likely and genuinely praying I get in somewhere else to avoid that crap
wow that’s funny
okay so if i take a gap year this year can i apply there?? or is there some sort of special criteria
what crap?
the swim test?
i’m pretty sure yeah
Yes I am very much okay drowning!!!!!
I love the swim test concept
That sounds rly horrible for y’all that have nearly drowned before tho I’m so sorry
yo
me

They don’t touch grass or water lol 🥱
How r my fellow Columbia simps doing now that we’re less than two weeks away
Yo @jovial crypt could i see your stats at the time of applying? Or could i send you mine and you compare em?
35 votes and 36 comments so far on Reddit

Oh hype
Yours arent super far off from mine
Recommendation from the mayor is wild and i dont have any of the music stuff but otherwise that made me a bit more comfortable
yeah i think essays carried
i got a cool lil note from my ao
saying they really liked my essays and portfolio recording
I didnt know aos were allowed to leave notes lmao
Would you be down to look over my essays? Once again, if not, totally cool
they mailed me my acceptance letter with a short handwritten note it was cute
hmm I mean I'm open to reading them but generally I think its better not to look for feedback after you've submitted your apps since theres nothing you can do to change them
if you want dm me though
Yeah i get that but im not close to anyone else thats applying to colleges on this caliber so i have no real idea of how mine compare
Ill put my columbia ones in a doc
Did u get any merch in your acceptance package?? Or do I have to order a t-shirt and hoodie on my own🙄
Nop
there will be a package that comes out when rd accepts offer thatll have merch
But they do have free tshirts
but rn just a folder free tshirt handwritten note from ao and poster
I want my stuff now! So excited 😭
Also I wonder if aos leave a note for everyone
in my likely portal i could submit a form for a free shirt, but i think it’s just a plain blue t-shirt with white text on it and not one of the nice crewnecks
I actually ordered one of those! Not sure what it looks like tho. Ugh I’ll just go buy a hoodie :/
If I get rejected u can have my crewneck 💖
Good thing you won’t have too!!!
Columbia
🇨🇴
Flag of the kind and clever
They stay #1 forever
They forgot the 8
COLUMBIA IS THE BEST SCHOOL EVER
Cornumbia
Combia
omg I thought we were gatekeeping
typing here to get a thread opened.
W sammy
columbi
a
It’s showing an error for me
Is it because I’m international ?
Yup! I'll dm u
Nvm it’s working now
Wait I can’t see it, do you mind sending a link?
it’s showing up on my likely portal
Ohh!! YOU GOT A LIKELY FOR BEING INTERNATIONAL??
WHERE ARE YOU FROM OMG
Dumbledore asked calmly
also where are you committing to
i havent gotten a cool acceptance yet, (please ivies and stanny )
if i dont get one, will prolly do jee adv (would do anyways)
JEE Advance 💪
frfr
Jee advanced 
fellow comrade?
🚫
Ig IIT is my only option tbh
iisc has decent cs stuff,
not cse but cs academia fr
But I don't wanna go to iisc. Also ig KVPY only gives you option for science courses not CS
And IIT-B is better
fair, (also iisc>> but thats a personal call ig)
🙃
WAIT YOUR MAJOR IS GRAPHIC DESIGN?
Nope it is CS
That GDM role if for people who make logos/banners for this server
ic ic
Now that you have said it, ig it probably is misleading lol
Hello yes
That was my plan too
I was a JEE aspirant entire 11th grade
But now I don’t think I’ll write the exam
Columbia is my top choice rn
But I’ve got like 10 decisions pending
Although realistically I’d only take 4/5 ish of those over Columbia
I’m also considering going to GSU
India only
@errant vale IISC has a new btech in Maths n Computing
COLUMBIA I LOVE YOU
ME TOO
WOAHW then you are getting accepted if you got a likely being an indian!
tru
Yeah but KVPY gets you admission to BSc only iirc
But anyways I really don't wanna go to IISC over IIT-B/D thb
But yeah ig I have to look upon my research a lil bit cause I may be wrong about the BSc thing
thats cool
True
But I’d go to IISC over anything else in India excluding IIT D/B
It won’t get you fame among aunties but it’s foreign placements are wild
For masters / phD
Yeah that's def true (and it ranks higher in overall ranking iirc)
I don’t think any of the IITs in india are capable of competing with US T10 unis
ofc
It sounds so absurd when ppl come then
That's bc they are underfunded cause of our poor government
I’d argue not even T20, the only consideration is cost
Compare*
And that’s where IITs win
And US is rich as f
I wouldn’t take IIT over any T20 unis
I don’t think that is really a thing; unis get their funding , just that uni officials are too self centered to think abt the students growth
No
IITs are genuinely massively underfunded
And we’re overpopulated as a country
That’s what makes even smthn like GSU better infrastructurally than an IIT
What would you say UIUC CS vS IIT
Bruh compare that to US funding
UIUC is ranked 5th for Cs but overall it’s in 40s
Overpopulated is an escape term; China had the largest population till recently and still they’ve the best unis in Asia
UIUC duh
IIT is in 90s or 80s
Well I'll take IIT-B over many except if they are ivies, top LACs or Duke/NYU
70s
honestly like why
tbf iitk phy dept has wilder placements
I would take UIUC CS over Duke in a heartbeat
Still not a big diff
Funding
Yes
that’s a significantly more cost effective option
That is the main reason I have a high chance of attending IIT/NTU/NUS
IITB is ntg just a hype; one in that whole graduating class gets like a 2 crore package and the whole uni is hyped
cause I ain't getting ivies
I have said that myself that IITs are hyped up but you should def consider the finances
Like IIT cost barely anything compared to US universities
@bitter panther where are you from?
India
India def
oh what lmao
Then you’d know IIT fee is like 4K USD
the ROI might make sense for someone who can’t afford Us
Who would have so much knowledge/time to talk about IITs
Lmao
nah but usually I’ve seen foreign people pick US unis over IIT
Mostly everyone I know in India thinks that IIT > Ivys
So I was surprised lmao
Cuz they know india unis are ntg
Just mass labour supplier
Nope that is bullshit but a lot of things in India are bullshit so it is not so surprizing
wait what NYU release likelies?
Idts
Ooh that just being patriot and being blindfolded
what’s idts
I don;t think so
Haven’t heard of it yet
ah
💀
What seriously
Tbh I use a hell lot of acronyms
You shouldn't search up my discord name then ig
I feel acronyms take away the feel of the language
It’s an acronym?
Hmm yeah but for people like me they save a lot of effort
Yeah 💀
Its NOYB
When you realise the meaning of this
None of your*
It's basically a joke:
What is your name?
It's NOYB
lmao, iisc and iisers prolly cost negative after inspire/kvpy
cant hurt 🤷♂️
True
For KVPY ?
It's for KVPY scholars
Ohh shit lol
tbh NTU/NUS are better than or equal to a few top US unis at STEM just at cheaper so that makes a lot of sense
Yeah lol
But the 3 year commitment thing makes me consider those options
their cs is considerably better than most us top schools too
how bad can working in a tech firm be lol SG is probabaly best place to work at in Asia rn
time to apply to SG as international
Yeah but I have further study plans after Undergrad so idk
Idk if the applications are still open
might be for some nations
Hmm yeah maybe
lowkey my first choice, so just hoping i get into columbia
why did two people from columbia view my linkedin
they gonna hire you as dean of admissions
good sign
i had 3 pton look at mine
idk if thats the case
usually ur supposed to make one in college
ur gonna start networking soon, and if u have the 500+ badge it makes it easier to netwrol so u might as well netwrol rn
nah make it now so when u start networking in college u have the 500+ alr
500+ is stupid
not necessarily
i heard a few recreuiters talk about summer intern kids
and how sm applicants don’t have any connections
and it can be a factor in ruling out applicants
cuz they made an account and havent touched it since
yeah
not worth it 💀💀💀
obv not
if you are rich enough to afford linkedin premium your daddy’s connections will make it such that you don’t need it in the first place
i mean i can afford it
My policy would be to get a LinkedIn as soon as I had a internship or smthg like that
its just weird
there are some schools where the kids who attend are just NPCs
like people who go to Umich are just NPCs
no way there are real people going there
bro what
Abhi fuck off
thats straight cap
i’m kidding i’m bored and like annoying people
npcs 💀?
The backtrack is insane
just admit u dont like the social culture at mich
i was one bad text away from trending on twitter
what social culture 💀
nah idk what it was
smth abt the school i just didn’t wanna apply
it’s rlly prestigious and really good and stuff but i just didn’t feel it
you thot i was feeling u?
yeah i know
isn’t MSU Better tho
in terms of
party life
💀
man just earned a spot on my shit list
u better be intl
is party life the only reason you’re going to uni?
yeah kinda
why do I have such complete loyalty to a school that gave me such shit aid
yee
gotta be a good time
i am kidding btw
education out the window
i didn’t apply mich but my friend got rejected and so we both hating on the school
oh I see
meh education doesnt matter
okay off my shit list
thank you
i was gonna apply but i got USC and idk i like cali more
i acc rlly love california
Rly defensive rn 💀 Mich my only rly selective acceptance ahaha
COLUMBIA I LOVE YOU ID CHOOSE YOU OVER MICH
lowkey jealous getting into mich is so hard it’s a good sign u will get more
mich my only us acceptance so far
bro snaked them INSTABTLY
😔
Ty <333 I hope so hasn’t been great since then
They snaked me first w that aid 30k off my EFC
@peak token harvard looks at linkedins to make sure ur not ugly
Oh shit grats to Mich ‘27
dude i am actyally a model LOL
ty 💪
if i get nothing else more i’ll commit to umich i like it lots
I’ve applied for a 4 Year Renewable so if I get that UMich will become one of my top choices
mich business school is so good
Atm it’s entirely unfeasible though
honestly mich just ranks high for everything
i don’t rlly fw location tho
i’m intl but it’s close ish to where i live
like 4 hour drive
u a canadian?
yep
i’m so sorry to hear that
i used to live in michigan actually so ive been to Ann Arbor before
oooh
😔
ann arbor sounds nice
I’ve been to Umich’s library 💀
me too honestly
Anyway it’s beautiful
here i can leave my door unlocked on holiday
nah you’ll both be fine
and come back home fine
just remember to be sensible
biggest concern of my parents is safety
you’ll be fine
Look both ways before u cross the street
don’t be alone w/o charged phone after dark
it’s so cool
you get free tickets to a pop smoke concert if you decide to go to detroit
actually, make sure a friend knows when u plan to be back if u go out alone too
good safe tips with beemielle
beach weather is so good
people will steal ur shit like nothing else
this song is stuck in my head
otherwise I’ve been perfectly fine in a variety of places
i mean ppl have like yelled slurs but
living in small town area thingz
California best state
COLUMBIA is the best school ever
Is columbias colors light blue or dark blue
light
Alright getting a hat so might as well honor it the best school ever
@supple harness did u get a likely
Yea
damn nice
Whats a likely letter look like 
I dont think likely letter = cracked
I think I posted it on here
What you think it is then
That colleges think they’re going be be competing with others
I’m FGLI so I think it’s more for that tbh than being “cracked”
I’m fgli didn’t get a likely
Respect for admitting that
Ur just cracked
I’m trying to change my mindset
On what
Nvm
Whats fgli
First generation low income
Also i cannot imagine the relief you felt whwn you got that lmao
Would do anything to get that from anywhere
Ah i see
Neither of my parents went to college let alone finish high school💀
Damn
Where were they originally from
and look at you applying to one of the best colleges in the world, pretty cool innit
me fr
im fg but not low income
lol
I’m interested in what colleges would consider to be low income
And getting in😍(well hopefully)
hell yeah
Did columbia prescreen applicants before interviews
nahn
All of my classmates got one
Yeah my interviewer said they didn’t have enough interviewers so they were contacting literally every alumni in the area
prob not good sign then
intl is different
i wouldnt be surprised if they use intl interview to verify stuff
Oh well
Nah availability is probably just bad
My interviewer was asked this year to help with interviews for the first time since the 90s. Pretty sure it is just cause of availability
Alright
Ok maybe not the 90s but whatever
Hahaha
Nah fr, I got people from washu suddenly looking like
I think that was like a week ago or so
what is free trial
how do u get trial
i think i already did it
dude i got the same
i didnt get it hm
mine was columbia engineering though
maybe theyre looking at all
dont take it as anything
they dont use linkedins to judge anyuthing
everyones application is different
dude i cant tell if aos are looking at mine or randoms
becausw ei have 3 from harvard and 4 from uchicago LOL
cuz i had someone view my profile like 3 weeks ago, but its a private acc
bros on ghost mode
ye
i have 56 private views
bruh wish I made a linkedin
fucks sake
did you guys put your linkedin in your app?
it barely has anything on it
no
or are they just finding you
OMG PROFESSOR LUSARDI LOOKED AT MINE WTFFVF
who's that
mine has like 3 awards and that’s it
no, but mine has the same ecs and stuff
bros got the whole faculty lookin at his shit
why would u even put awards
also links to my papers and recommenders
smh
i use it for entrepreneurship stuff
tbh
pretty useful meeting cool ppl
its a nice platform
i get to like
show off my pretentious douchey wside there
its so good, you get it all out on linkedin and become a relaly humble person irl
just put sat score
exactly
diude someone put their 1410 on it LOOOOL
lmao
i don't even think i have my sat score on it lmao
like its a perfectly respsectable sat score for application purposes but why would you put it on your linkedin
i dont believe in sat discrimination ( i hate test optional)
and my hs
why would i even put ECs on it
test optional is dumb
not rly i think its good tbh
goall out king
nah
for internships, you'd want to change
its weird
ur chilling rn tho
Nvm bruh it was my cousin😭
ye ima update it soon but ive just been in hs chillin theres nothing for me to do on there
ive reached out to a few people on there tho
like i talked to a consultant to learn about consulting and shit
from BCG
damnn
thats crazy
i've been wanting to do that
ye it was a wharton alumni
i've landed my internship from there
she was chill
do that irl and lets talk
super cool
ik a lot of people the corporate world aren't always active
so its def interesting to find ppl to help
my princeton interview was cool
he got me to increase my onnections on linkedin
I dont really like adding people from my school because I know they have 0 future
LOL
LOOOL
no one in my school is worth my connection
its for lke all types of things
lmao you gotta improve ur profile then prob
no pfp makes you look like a guy tryna pitch them something
should i add this t5 research i did
theyre prolly like
cause i'm just an entrepreneur and i got like 10 a day of those
look this is my boss tryna see if im actually working or if im just on linkedi n
so they def get spammed
or this yea
lmaoo i could see that
high business is kinda cut throat
to where it could acutally be a possibility
true
is adding activities for school even worth it
no
but if u have any research
or internship
or anything like that
then yea
yeah
where do i add
volunteering stuff can be nice to fill
tbh i could also imagine them going crazy on linkedin
i just have my papers, internships and volunteer stuff
looking for recruiters etc
where do i add research
ye they all got 500+
publications
it's just about kinda making ur profile appealing for them
it could be as simple as saying ur a student interested in the industry
thats alwayus where you start
start humble nad loko realistic
Thats what i did
ye
im plenty humble in my messages
i just
my profile looks like an actual bot
LMFAO
NPC
ye itll take me like
bc ppl usually like to help
ye
better hope ur not ugly
what they all say
lmao
so Activities & Societies doesnt matter
do you got a school pic u could use
iidk
for hs
probably
sigh
but you should be able to cancel right away

I woud have to walk all the way to the other room

i'd rather not know who viewed my profile than exert 0.0003 joules worth of effort
fax
how do u view this
Can everyone access their finaid portal?
ye I can access but there’s nothing there oddly enough
I can get into it but the documents and messages page shows no checklist.
Same
Their portal has been glitchy in the past dw
COLUMBIA I LOVE YOU ACCEPT ME
COLOMBIA #1
i will do anything for an acceptance
Based
I will cut off my pinky for an acceptance
Probably not my thumb
Or my other fingers
But maybe my pinky
Actually maybe just one inch
bro...you're joking right?
Ok maybe not my pinky
But probably my pinky nail
Like you know how it’s a torture method to pull out nails
I would probably do that for one finger for a Columbia acceptance
Maybe
like...dont torture yourself for college apps 💀
idk, you're prolly joking but thats a very unhealthy mindset
If it was a deal some omnipotent but goofy god offered me
Like if you think about it logically, it’s definitely less pain than the pain I endured through 4 years of high school
Plus it’s temporary
It’s just really bad pain for a few days
Vs an acceptance that lasts four years
idk but self harm, no matter how trivial or hypothetical, should be jokes about ig
I mean, in this hypothetical scenario, it’s not really self harm
It’s not essentially different fro any kind of other contract
Like if you sign a contract that says you get paid a certain amount of money for a certain amount of labor
And that labor is painful
It’s essentially the same
maybe its because i get overly sensitive on that topic idk
That’s fair, my bad then
nvm its fine
we all getting in anyways🫂
Hope
Meanwhile, me looking at Columbia's acceptance rate.
For intl students with aid

let me be delusional for 3 seconds 
bro has been in vc all day
Umm I left it on my school pc
Forgot to log out
you can just log in and log off a vc rn
💀
Nah I'm lazy
i mean if you're using the same account then you can
It takes less effort to log off than for you to type that 💀
im hopping in the vc and blasting gay porn i hope you dont have the speakers on
Time to go on the vc

Wait ig i need to log out remotely from there too just in case someone logs on in the morning
It is on another device
random school janitor reading bro's dms
imagine the school at night blasting random moans of men
how to make a school ghost story 101
and the two closeted teachers freak out thinking its a leaked tape
Nah done
and the janitor
(you know what the janitor did)
thank god your school didnt get to know you were on a2c
insta banned otherwise
even better then
jeetard learning sex is a thing
mindblown
🪦
💀
bro somehow over the months, ive made columbia my favourite school
even though it was bad cuz im prob not getting in
real
what is t-7
Tufts
oh
6hr 15m till decisions release
gotcha
If I get rejected I’m yield protected, if I get in it was expected and more proof I’m getting into ivies
my application isn't good enough to say im yield protected xD
is anyone going to the cu saturday night + days on campus program on april 22-23?
I think I will!
If they admit me 🤪
Literally
I mean
pulling out one nail for a columbia acceptance is literally a good long term decision
Cutting off your finger ok no
bit extra
I’d pull out all ten for Columbia probably
The pain is temporary and so is parental approval so. Fair trade
Just wondering did everyone get the diversity recruitment emails? Got one for being FLI just now
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
im going to get in
like rn this minute
Like 10 min ago
Nah I didn’t get one
I did a tour today
Shit was so fire
It affirmed my belief that Columbia is the best school ever
What did you like about it??
Lots of grass to touch
The uni as a whole is sequestered away
So that was nice
I had to take 4 flights of stairs to get there lmao
The faculties looked very nice and it seemed like a nice place in general
yea it's like it's own little bubble in the middle of nyc
really nice and calming place
mudd 💀
Me too
Really good school but insanely mid campus
they need to stop emailing about the pre-college programs
giving me a heart attack every time 💀
Literally just saw this
💀
my friend got a likely letter from columbia today!
it would appear they are still making decisions
bruhhh so few ppl get likelies
if everyone got a likely what would the point of ivy day be
so u get the official letter
there is no trust
there is only my impending doom
and the inevitable march towards it
actually no
actually
oh my god i cant math
why do i expect to get into cu when i cant mat
💀
listen, folks
this whole college thing, it’s a scam
if you get in, exquisite, delightful, poggers, even
if you don’t, welp, it sucks innit, columbia is quite the university
it is quite the good school
guys i dont think im getting in either this sucks
i love colombia!!!
it is the school
i wish uncle iroh was here he’d prob have super good advice
